Rumors of Frenchmen Abound
By: Martha | February 6th, 2007
In a post on his blog this morning, the frighteningly well-informed Ives Galarcep gave surprising credence to the paper-thin rumors about a possible future move by Theirry “melon énorme” Henry to MLS, specifically to New York. According to Galarcep, such a move wouldn’t happen for a few years yet (what with Henry still being wildly productive at the highest level and all), but he feels Henry is definitely interested in coming to the US: “Sources told [Galarcep] a year ago that of [Youri] Djorkaeff’s friends, Henry was one of the more intrigued by MLS. He travels to New York regularly and has the type of personality that could make him a crossover star.” Well! That’s a tantalizing tidbit, even if it makes me twitch a little to imagine cheering for Henry: No matter what you think of him, the man is incredibly talented and, even three or four years from now, could bring some much-needed silky magic — not to mention a touch of glamor — to our attack force.
In other, far more dubious Frenchman news, a poster on Big Soccer swears his buddy who works with VIPs at Newark just saw Zizou himself roll off in a limo, headed for NYC. According to the report, Zidane said he was in the city for two days “on business.” Let the wild speculation begin!

I was going to start this with, “It’s not Zidane, but…” ab=nd then I got to the bottom of the post. Oh, Lord! How could I blog on Glaxy if Zizou were in NYC?
But Henry would be fun, too. I could teach you and all your friends to shout, “Eh, Titi, Show us your melon enorme!” in French.

See? Now I’m desperate for Henry to come. Any excuse to shout “melon enorme” in public!
